//long rambling
There is a vent in the last part (about pro ship:/+ wired shipping + block list) it's naturally negative so reading at your own risk.
So in the new Batman and Robin issue #7 Nika's sister making an appearance, got me thinking of other possibilities for sibling characters to come back.
Mostly I’m thinking about Respawn since he is Joshua Williamson's own character. And He made Respawn appeared in the last issue of Robin(2021), he also brought back Mara in that run too (just some appearance in the later issue).
And now Joshua Williamson is writing Batman and Robin, so naturally he can bring some characters back in this run. He had said in an interview that he might have figured out a way(try) to bring back Maya.
Tumblr media
Throwback to 2022 of this old wip/art I made, is about what I think the emo teens of Lazarus squad dynamic would look like.
I imagine Nika and Respaw are irritated/tolerate with each other but would stay for Damian because Nika is Damian's girlfriend and they want to stick together. Meanwhile, Damian likes to include his half-brother in some fun activities (Respawn is acting reluctant bc of his own issues but he actually likes to have friends and feel include).
I haven’t finished this art bc I was going to add more wips (with other characters like Rose and Hawke) to make it a post. I didn't finish this art back then bc I was afraid Talia fans would be mad at me for drawing Respawn.
Trust me, I hate that Talia gets associated with Deathstroke like this, but I think Respawn is a confused/mistreated teen character and Damian (bless his heart and soul) still wants to be his brother regarding the whole mess. I will explain/talk more about my thoughts on Respawn as a character and his situations once I finish these drawings and get ready to post them.
Writing/typing words is harder than drawing for me personally. Drawing is like channeling my energy into a picture and forming an atmosphere and hopefully people will understand what thoughts and feelings I was trying to convey. Writing is using more brain powers to choose the correct and cohesive words, so people would not misunderstand what I'm talking about. Especially when English is not my first language, and even so I normally don't talk(write) much in my mother tongue either…(I'm not a quick thinker, it took me a longer time to think things through, writing literally exhausted me physically and mentally more than drawing.)
It doesn't mean I don't enjoy writing, it's just not my first choice to convey thoughts… but considering I can't draw everything I have in my mind and it takes even longer time to finish any art, I just need to write down things first from now on. Tumblr is the only place I can think of that has this longer text feature blog post and I'm more familiar with this platform format. So I will still be here posting my fan content.
.
(↓Vent, if you want to avoid being block by me then read down below.)
I must say I will forever hate respawn x flatline as ship, cus I know who started this ship and their reasons behind it—Don’t let the new character develop naturally as the story goes, let’s put them in made-up weird situations first so I can prop up my own ship!😍 And get both of the new characters out of the way, since no one would defend them so I can fanon the hell out of them by making them look bad all around!🤞 (What if I stone you first hand🪨🪨💥)
And I will continue to dislike/against any shipping Damian's sibling to Nika. I simply don't like the unnecessary sibling conflict just for romance tropes! So go away boooo I hate you‼️ Not to mention the ignoring of different age range multi-ship hide behind poly… that's straight up proshipping I hate you even more!!👎
Also for people who said Nika should be crush on Damian's mother instead of him… I hate you twisted proshipper rotten smooth brain‼️‼️ She dating a boy her age and has mutual connections with him, why would she crush on her boyfriend's mother instead?? Just because Nika is a big fan of Talia??? So you telling me young ppl can't idolize adults normally without being labeled as romantic nowadays huh??( Not saying you can't crush on adults, but why crush on your boyfriend's mom? ) Your weird ass mind is showing with this ass hc be fr. Again, why would you imagine that? You just wanted to push a fake narrative of Nika being wired so you could have an excuse to make Talia and Damian dislike her (which is not true), but in fact is YOU are the weird one projecting your twist thoughts/hate onto Nika‼️💥🪨🪨
I will start to block ppl who are shipping/liking respawn x flatline (+proshipper) and STILL interact with me, read the room!! My art is not for you weirdos‼️Go away BOOOO💥 🪨🪨🪨💥💥
Can't believe I need to type this all out cuz some of you weirdos will still do these things and think is okay to interact with me and my post/showing in my notifications BOOO👎🪨🪨💥🪳🪳🪳🩴🩴🩴
(sorry for venting about random weirdos/Nika haters again, and thanks for reading.)

Collateral
Tumblr media
Your ex-boyfriend gets in over his head working for the local mafia, and Boss Min has come to collect his payment: You.
But was it simply a matter of being in the wrong place at the wrong time? Or has he always had his sights on you?
🗡️ Yoongi x Female Reader x Namjoon, Taehyung x Jungkook, Seokjin x Hoseok, Jungkook x Reader, Jimin x Seokjin x Hoseok, Members x Non-BTS Members - italics refer to relationships/situationships in member pov chapters 🗡️ word count: work in progress (currently 317k!!! wowie!!!) 🗡️ warnings: mafia au, strangers to lovers, complicated relationships graphic violence, minor character death, major character injury, poly, smut, angst, fluff, nsfw, explicit 21+ | panic attacks and ptsd, abuse (of power, drugs, people, etc.), treating humans as objects, use of “whore” & “slut”, brothel & strip club environment, gambling & casino environment, past abuse alluded to (physical and sexual), past drug use, use of drugs (weed, cocaine, heroin, ecstasy, pills), mutual pining, explicit & intense sexual content (all main characters including reader mc can be assumed to be bi/pan; everyone switches but typically mc bottoms/subs; masturbation; oral, vaginal & anal sex; multiple orgasms & overstimulation; threesomes; voyeurism & exhibitionism; squirting; daddy kink; noona kink; light sub/dom; restraints; begging & teasing; praising; light slapping & spanking; breath play; dubcon in member pov - not with mc), murder, use of weapons (switchblades, kunai knives, guns, poison, molotov cocktail); graphic depictions of torture (breaking bones, removing fingers, threatening at gunpoint); blood tending to wounds; car chase & collision; more warnings to be added!

🗡️ also note: although i try to keep out as much physical description as i can for the main character, i am a short and curvy person, and a lot of this is short and curvy person coded because that is an experience i enjoy writing for. if you are tall or thin and this bothers you, sorry lol. ♡ mc's hair length, color, and texture are not described outside of being sometimes pinned or braided away from the face. 🗡️ beta read by @neoneunnajimin 🗡️ posted may 2022 to present | read on ao3​ 🗡️ check out the playlist!

What Star Trek headcannons do you have?
*cracks knuckles* tng headcanons infodumping time (i havent finished tng yet but i have projected very very hard onto several characters and also made everyone on this ship bisexual bc i can)
picard:
worlds grumpiest polyam gray aroace bi man
i think if he had a grape fanta he would simply Die. not in a good way. actually any soda i think i could kill this guy with a baja blast
hes absolutely not dating riker but like half the ship thinks he is. also theyve screwed like twice but platonically dw abt it
hes dating both dr crusher and q. because i say so
riker:
TRANS MAN RIKER SUPREMACY!!! RIKER IS SO TRANS BC I SAY SO ‼️‼️
hes polyam and also arospec. i think hed like the label aroallo but gray aromantic allo bisexual is more accurate
hes dating like Everyone. data, troi, dr crusher, worf, geordi. my mans is absolutely rolling in romantic/sexual partners
he takes time to take every single one of them on dates catered to them and is absurdly romantic whenever he gets the chance. think rose petals and chocolate and violins
he doesnt ENCOURAGE rumours that he and the captain are dating but he doesnt DISCOURAGE them either
geordi:
pathetic little bisexual man. puts him in the oven
hes dating riker (everyone is dating riker lmao) and in a borderline romantic qpr with data (he calls data his boyfriend but also likes to clarify its not quite Dating since data is aroace)
data and geordi have sherlock holmes rp date nights. this one isnt even a hc actually pretty sure they literally do this in canon
worf:
aroallo bi worf is real and true i would know i was the enterprise
he acts like he hates rikers stupid romantic bs whenever he takes worf on dates (usually they end up just going to a holodeck and duking it out homoerotically afterwards anyways) but then he lays awake at night thinking about riker like 😳
i think he likes drawing skulls. i have exactly 0 canon to back this up but i think he would enjoy drawing skulls
data (can you tell hes my favourite lmao):
spends literal hours researching romantic/sexual relationships so he can be a good partner to geordi and riker even tho he considers himself aroace. usually comes up with something stupidly cheesy (even worse than riker) for dates and they both absolutely adore him for it
polyam aroace bi, and also he/him agender. because i said so
data likes to bonk his head on his partners as a show of affection. its like a kiss on the cheek/forehead except youre getting BONKED by an android
one of my moots (data la forge maybe?) said something about data purring and like thats actually canon as stated before i would know i was the enterprise
also he likes to lay his head on geordis lap. because I Said So
he is included in Girls Nights. he and keiko and troi and dr crusher all get together and he listens to their gossip while they paint his nails and do his makeup
troi:
troi tops. 100%
shes in a relationship both dr crusher and riker, and also had a thing going with tasha yar before she died
i think she considers herself poly bi with a preference for men, but she usually ends up in lasting relationships with women
i feel like she and riker are more of a qpr/fwb situation rather than a romantic one. theyre besties who are also soulbound and also love each other and also fuck nasty sometimes
dr crusher:
pansexual. did you see the way she literally did not care about gender when her parasite lover became a woman?? this is a pansexual
she likes helping data get ready for dates n stuff. they hang out in her quarters and she does his hair and picks out outfits and gives him advice
wesley:
him and his gf from that one episode (robin i think her name was??) are t4t. i base this on my Divine Intuition
summons a large eagle to carry him off into the night
q:
i want to call this man every slur i know. horrid creature. kisses him on the forehead
has no connection to gender identity or sexuality. hes probably aspec but identifies only as queer bc Q
he and picard have fucked nasty at least once. theres no way they havent

Hey, I was wondering if you could maybe help me with this, because I am incredibly now at polyamory, I have no onw around me that I could talk to and I don't know how to act.
Okay so basically, i have been with my partner for almost 3 years now. We were completly monogamous until a few months ago, when they went to study abroad. We have a huge time difference (9h) and we have never been apart for more than 1 month, so long distance has been hard on us. Not even 2 weeks of being aborad they met someone and started to develop a crush.
I had no worries and said it would be okay for me if they would try something out, but I also said that i don't know if I would be comfortable with them developing feelings for each other. Fast forward a few weeks, they actually developed feelings for each other and I stopped feeling comfortable with them kissing or having sex. My partner and I talked about it and we came to the conclusion that we want to try to actually open our relationship.
See the problem isn't with my partner or the guy they found, because both of them are 100% okay with everything. I am the only one who feels terrible about my partner having romantic feelings for someone other than me. But I really want to try for my partner. (I dont know if a non-monogamous relationship is for me, right now it doesn't feel like I can do this, but like I said I really want to try for them).
I feel jealous and anxious and sometimes angry. I don't want to feel this way. We talked about things that could help me get over these feelings, including my partner spending more time with me and me actually getting to know the other person.
(I also thought that it could maybe help if I also had someone else, but I don't know if I actually want that. Also it hurts when my partner says that they don't care if I have someone else.)
Moreover we made the "rule" that we should take it slow and that I am currently not comfortable with them sharing bodily affection, like kissing or having sex. We're hoping that as time passes my bad feelings would go away and they can slowly start doing these things again.
Now coming to my question: Do you have any advice on how to handle this situation? How can I figure out where my bad feelings are coming from? What else can we do to reduce my bad feelings? I would appreciate your help soo much. Thank you!
To me, it sounds like you love your partner very much, but the two of you aren't romantically compatible.
It absolutely sucks when this happens, for everyone involved. But do not compromise your own comfort just to appease your partner. Don't hide your feelings of jealousy and blame yourself for not "trying hard enough" to be poly "for them" if it's genuinely something you're not comfortable with.
It's okay if this is a dealbreaker for you. If you would be happier with just one person, and they would be happier with more than one, it's okay to end the relationship and wish each other the best. You can still love each other, still root for the other's happiness in life, and date separately. You both deserve to have the types of connections that you want. If this isn't what you want, the best you will be able to do is learn to tolerate it. Being actually happy with it may not ever happen.
It's so, so hard. And I'm sorry you're going through this. But I hope both of you can take a look at your relationship together and determine whether it's something you still want or not. It's okay if it isn't. But don't force yourself to change for them. <3

Alright so here's the drama! This was the best way I could think to do it.
@moonlightnova @loveless-nameless-graceless-two
Other people who might get a kick out of it/I want to tell @kannibalkaiii @isaacclarkex-art @toadstooltyrant @this-ken-is-babygirl @xdia-morphin-e
Anyone else, feel free to read! I feel like I'm in a romcom!
Okay! I want to start this off by saying that I am doing fine in this situation. This story involves someone I've been starting to see less and less, and have been looking for a reason to break up with for a while. I'll call them Stack (they/he)
Yesterday, I got a message from someone relatively distant in my life, who we'll call Plushie(they/them). They wanted to discuss someone we mutually know. Totally random, but okay. The person in question turns out to be someone I've been casually dating since February.
Stack and plushie have been hooking up (nbd, major poly situation) but recently stack did something sexually without permission that triggered plushie. Plushie reached out to me to see if I thought stack was a trustworthy person. They were told that I was JUST A FRIEND. And one he had JUST MET IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS. Not someone stack has been following around for 8 whole months, frequently proclaiming undying love to. Stack, as a condition of our relationship, tells me about "all" of their other partners and hookups, but I haven't heard of plushie once. Plushie also brought up ~another~ name I've never heard.
So this of course lead to us discovering a massive web of lies. Stack currently has covid. Sent me pictures of the positive test. But specifically told plushie (immunocompromised, btw) that they only had a sinus infection. They also told plushie that they were single. But as far as I'm aware, stack has 4 partners including myself. Stack is constantly telling me how badly they want to raise a child with me, but told plushie that they're getting a vasectomy in a couple weeks. Stack told plushie that they're "saving the last season of wwdits so that they can watch together". Stack has fully already watched it with me. Stack claims to me that they use condoms with everyone else. Unsurprisngly, not the case. And then there's this whole roommate debacle where stack moved a much younger ex into their apartment, prayed on the power dynamic, and swore up and down that they two weren't hooking up. Also bullshit. During our 5 hour phone call, plushie and I kept finding more and more things stack has lied about. Things that don't make sense to lie about. We found explanations for times that he acted suspicious about things. Like when he was complaining about being low on money, but completely clammed up when plushie asked why. The answer is because stack had just taken one of their partners to a fancy hotel I recommended for their birthday. Which plushie couldn't know because, DESPITE THEM ALSO BEING POLY, stack hid all of their relationships from them.
Bizarre. The entire situation is fucking bizarre. All last night was spent scratching our heads and connecting dots. But it all makes sense. Stack has, in one way or another, sexually assaulted both of us and then made it about them and their depression. That we're the ones being mean and overreacting. Stack is incredibly manipulative and self centered. And a bad, yet seemingly compulsive liar. And now, they've been caught.
Anyways I know that was a lot and I feel like I said very little. Honestly, my brain is still reeling from the situation, and I'm feeling a little fried. But trust me when I say that we pieced together a LOT of lies. The next step is to figure out the funniest way to break up with them, with our new information. We're open to suggestions!

Do your stories have a connection? Like, are any of them connected?
Mmmm it depends on the story I guess! (spoilers ahead if you haven't read my fics)
Most of my smaller stories (Just This Once, Babysitting the Fuzz, Thursday is Rubber Fishday, etc), were written to be stand-alone fanfics that do not have any kind of connection to each other. I also have an in-limbo comic called The Throne, which is based on a what-if idea and is thus entirely its own thing with no connection to any of my other stories whatsoever.
However, The Veil and Call Me Cyli might have some overlap with each other.
I'm still a bit undecided on how much overlap they'll have. Call Me Cyli is my take on the first two episodes, sort of like a fan-made prequel for the series. The Veil, on the other hand, takes place a year after the events of the season 2 finale, like a sequel.
Therefore, Call Me Cyli could be considered a distant prequel to The Veil, but only in terms of the fanon/altered canon I've come up with for the show.
For example, some events or relationships in Call Me Cyli could be canon to the timeline in The Veil. If you were to ask Cyli in The Veil if she had any friends before meeting Pac and Spiral, then she would say Poly, Tetrah, Cubo, Rubix and Skeebo.
Through this logic, it would also mean that the specific bullying phase that Pac went through in CMC is also canon in The Veil's lore. That includes the whole dilemma of Cyli staying on Skeebo's side until it had become blatantly apparent to her that Skeebo was a bully, and the consequences it had on Pac. The whole issue was the reason there was a feud between Cyli and Pac & Spiral at the start of their friendship. If you were to ask any of the Pac-trio in The Veil about it, then they'd remember it fully (with embarrassment and shame lol)
And it's kinda because of that reason why I'm a bit undecided on whether or not Call Me Cyli and The Veil should be connected.
Since The Veil is still a story that's being written, some things might come along that change the plot and lore completely, which could make the events in CMC incompatible with the events in The Veil.
For now, I'd say that minor things like Cyli's past relationships are canon/connected to The Veil. But some of the bigger things like CMC's plot points may not be relevant to The Veil's ongoing plot.

Meet the Character Monday #3
Ash - Tigerverse (The Caged Tiger, The Freed Tiger, The Pet Tiger)
Tumblr media
[Image ID: A sketch of my OC Ash. The drawing is a shoulders-up portrait of Ash smiling and facing to the right side of the screen. As this is supposed to be before The Caged Tiger, his hair is shoulder-length and he is uninjured. His left eye is blank as if clouded by a cataract. He is shirtless and his muscles are clearly visible. The whole piece is done in shades of orange. /End ID]
(Ash smiling! Wow! Yes, it's possible! This drawing is representative of what he looked like right before his capture: happy, healthy, without major scars, but after he lost his stripes/tail/ears.)
Basic Info:
Name: Moss Pelt (Ash) Catteau
Age: 26(ish)
Birthday: Spring? (Aries) Ash doesn't know his specific birth date
Height: 6' 4" (193 cm)
Hair: Black
Eyes: Green
Favorite Color: Green or orange
Gender ID and Orientation: Is very comfortable as a man but has never thought about it (much more concerned about his status as human vs beast), is attracted to both men and women but once again never put much thought into it. If it needed a label, he might say he’s “my partner”-sexual. While I also wouldn’t call him “poly” per se, he’s not strictly monogamous in the traditional human way.
Pronouns: He/him (never, ever “it”)
Other: accidental autistic rep (oops), tiger-human hybrid creature
What's Ash's role in the story? Ash is a human(ish) barbarian and the protagonist of the Tigerverse series. He is the current partner of Evius, who was previously romantically involved with Ash’s whumper: Ozmund Greenthorn. Ash was originally created as a character for an ongoing DnD campaign, though the stories on this blog mostly divert from the canon of that game.
Fun Facts about Ash:
Due to his tiger heritage and upbringing, Ash can communicate with cats and (with some effort) most other animals. He’s also picked up bits and pieces of other languages based on whomever he interacts with most (including a little Elven from Kane and Infernal from Evius).
Ash, like all tigers, is red-green colorblind. He only learned this after being with the party for some time—he didn’t realize he had orange fur. In fact, Evius’ coppery tiefling skintone doesn’t look much different to Ash than his human disguise. He can, however, distinguish shades of blue and yellow. (I’m just now realizing he probably doesn’t realize Mouse’s hair is pink. Bummer.)
Even in his human form, Ash has heightened animal-like senses which often overwhelm him. For that reason, he tends to dislike crowded areas and sticks close to Evius or Kane in the city.
He does not have a barbed penis, but man do we love to joke about it lol
His intelligence is kind of paradoxical. He didn’t have any formal education, and just about everything he knows about the “civilized” world came from Kane, so he’s not exactly “book-learned.” But, for the same reasons, he doesn’t have a lot of social knowledge either. His intellect is mostly centered around his knowledge of the natural world and survival, as well as his keen skills of observation and problem-solving. When his intelligence increased from the mindflayer tadpole, it mostly just made it easier for him to learn things and put concepts together; it didn’t impart any factual knowledge on him. Almost like he had ADHD and got adderall for the first time lol
That being said, he did become more aware of all the social rules he hadn’t noticed or cared about before. Suddenly, he felt embarrassed at being seen nude because now he could put together that not everyone was as comfortable as him and that most people felt some amount of shame about nudity. It also helped him finally connect the pieces that his attraction to Evius wasn’t just platonic.
Hilarious corollary: Hsa (what the tadpole named itself) has experienced the world through Ash since it was implanted. Meaning, it has felt everything Ash has felt and seen everything he’s seen. It knows all his thoughts and feelings. It has seen aaallll of Ash and Evius’ . . . interactions.
Biggest Secret: Ash would love to have a big family and lots of babies. He’s even fantasized about being pregnant—he’s still a little shaky on exactly how humanoid biology works. (And Evius’ player has forbidden me from writing mpreg fanfic boooo)

One Last Kiss
Fandom: Bones
Rating: T
Pairing: Sweetooth (mentions of polyamory)
Word Count: 975
Warnings: angst, set during 10x01, kissage, pre-existing poly, Sweets p.o.v., set in my poly verse
Summary: Sweets and Booth after Daisy drops by.
A/N: technically this is a sequel to my unfinished Sweets/Booth/Bones fic, but it wouldn't leave me alone and I don't want it sitting in my docs forever. Just know that the three of them were in a polyamorous relationship during his stay with them in s8 and they still had sporadic sex throughout s8&9. Title is from the song from Bye Bye Birdie (the lyrics are actually rather fitting considering how the episode goes)
Tumblr media
Lance watched Daisy shut the door behind her as she left the apartment, chewing his lip nervously. He heard Booth shift behind him and turned to face him with a smile he hoped wasn't too guilty-looking.
"So, a baby, huh?"
"Uh, yeah. Look, Booth, I'm sorry I never said anything. I only found out about a month before all this started and we were waiting for the right moment, but…"
Booth closed the space between them and clasped his hands on Sweets' shoulders, his gaze softening as it locked with the psychologist's.
"Sweets, hey, no, I get it, alright. I'm not…I'm not mad at you about this. Hell, I'm happy for you, really. What did Bones and I tell you when you moved out, huh?"
"That even though we weren't living together anymore, it didn't mean we'd stop being a family."
"Exactly. We're a family, Sweets, and Daisy, and little Lance Jr., they're gonna be a part of that family now, too. You have nothing to be sorry about, okay? Me and Bones, we're always gonna love you, and we'll always be here for you, kid."
Sweets nodded, the guilt about Booth finding out about Daisy's pregnancy this way now shifting into guilt about the focus suddenly being on his life rather than the real problems Booth had come here to discuss.
"God, Booth, you came here to work on what's happening with the investigation and I've gone and made it all about me."
"Don't be. Seriously. There's really not much more to talk about anyways, until Bones and the team find more evidence. I'm sorry for the blow up over it when you stopped by the house, I'm just…laser-focused right now."
Sweets pulled away and sat on the couch, gesturing for Booth to do the same.
"I've missed you, Booth. I hate that I couldn't come see you, but Bones told me you said it might compromise the investigation."
"Yeah. I didn't want them tailing you. You don't need that. Visiting me in there, the guys at the Bureau would've stopped trusting you; you needed all avenues open in case something popped up, you know?"
"I understand. It was just hard." Sweets turned to face Booth, not quite able to meet his gaze. "I told Daisy about us, about our situation."
"Oh? Oh…um, does Bones know you told her?"
"Dr. Brennan was the one who suggested it." Sweets looked at Booth, breathing out a sign of relief when he saw that he wasn't angry, just slightly worried. "She said she thought Daisy was the type of person who would understand, and that it was important for her to hear it from me, as early as possible, rather than finding out down the road. And, she was right. Daisy was, is, perfectly accepting of it."
"Is?"
"We've discussed it, and included Bones in the discussion, and she's okay with it if we continue on the way we have been. Actually, she's expressed interest in maybe being included in our dynamic, if you're okay with it."
"Really?"
"Yeah. They haven't done anything, because Dr. Brennan wasn't able to discuss it with you, but it's obvious she and Daisy have a connection that goes deeper than just working together at the Jeffersonian. And, Daisy has admitted she thinks you're appealing."
Booth chuckled lightly, the worry disappearing from his face. He gave Sweets a cocky grin.
"She thinks I'm hot, huh?"
Lance rolled his eyes and grinned back.
"Well, you do have that ruggedly handsome thing going for you. Especially with that stubble." Sweets huffed out a breath. "Booth, can I just kiss you already? Can we just…can I just have that, and we save all the complicated talk for later? I-I know you just got out of that place, and you probably have a shit load of stuff running through your head, but I just need-"
Sweets' babble was cut off by the press of Booth's lips against his, and he let himself just melt into the kiss as an arm wrapped around him, pulling him closer. This was what he had needed, what he had been missing the last three months. Booth's all-encompassing passion as he took the lead. It was present in everything the older man did, and no less evident in this moment as he deepened the kiss, urging Sweets' lips to part. He moaned into Booth's mouth as their tongues met, and fisted a hand into his shirt, clutching him close as the kiss lingered on.
Booth was the one to break away, just as Sweets' other hand crept its way towards his lap, pressing his forehead to the younger's, breath coming out in ragged pants.
"I can't, Sweets, not now."
Sweets swallowed down the whimper of regret, the sting of rejection pushed aside by logic. Booth had only been out of prison for such a short time, of course he would need more time to readjust. He'd barely even had enough time to be with Dr. Brennan and Christine before he came here, it was unreasonable to expect him to be in a place, mentally or emotionally, to want the kind of intimacy the kiss was leading towards.
"It's okay, Booth, I understand, really."
"Thanks." Booth released his hold on Sweets and stood up. "Look, I gotta check in with Bones and see if the team has made any progress. And keep this new guy Aubrey from looking too closely. Man, he gets on my nerves."
"Alright. You'll keep me informed, right? And, you'll call me if you need anything? Anything at all. I'm here for you and Dr. Brennan. So's Daisy."
"Yeah, I know, kid. I'll let you know if something comes up. And..thanks. For this, for everything."
Lance smiled that 'don't mention it' smile of his and watched Booth walk out the door, lips faltering into a worried frown.

I was just wondering, how do you handle being polyamorus and Christian? I was raised Christian, and it was only last year I finally really made the belief my own and truly connected with God. But the thing is, I always believed I was completely straight too. I thought my religion supported that idea as well so I never questioned the idea that I was straight. Until recently. I started thinking about polyamory, I started realizing I like my boyfriend but I'm also falling for other people while I'm dating him. I realized that any dating games I've played I never wanted to stick to just one partner because I liked ALL the boys offered. I don't really know how to handle that. So I'm curious, how did you handle it? Did you always know you were poly, or was it more of a realization? And how did that affect your faith? I apologize if this is too personal to ask. I just am afraid nobody in my family would understand that wouldn't just outright encourage the idea or discourage me. I don't know if I have any friends I could go to either. Again, I'm sorry if this is too personal.
Don't worry, it's not too personal a question. I don't mind sharing my answer, although I'm not sure how helpful it will be. Hopefully at least a little.
I was raised Christian as well, and grew up thinking I was both straight and monogamous. While I was in college, I had both of those beliefs challenged, and it was something I struggled with for quite awhile. I had a religious crisis over realizing that I wasn't straight first, realizing that I was attracted to people of multiple genders. It was something I resolved through a lot of prayer, and looking at scripture, and the context of that scripture. (Multiple verses condemning homosexuality have a context that they are condemning it as ways of worshipping other gods.) I relied on prayer a LOT here as well, praying heavily and begging God to lead me to follow His will, and to impress upon my heart whether or not I was sinning in my attraction to others. I will also admit, I leaned on the queer community I was a part of at the time, having people who accepted who I was both as a Christian and as someone who wasn't straight. Eventually, I came to peace with my attraction to multiple genders while still believing in my God and in Jesus as my savior.
It happened again, that religious crisis, when I began to realize that I loved more than just my at the time husband. It was an unusual situation for me; I developed a relationship with someone that started as a friendly joke that we were 'spouses,' but somewhere along the line became deeper and more serious. It was a little easier, having already been through one such crisis, but no less scary to think that… what if I was in error, what if I was sinning? I turned first to prayer again. I prayed consistently, seriously, and asked for guidance from God. I asked for God to lead me to follow His will, to show me what He wished and wanted of me when it came to the love that I felt in my heart.
I thought a lot about what love meant, and what love meant to God, and to Christians. Something led me to thinking about the love that God has in His heart for all humanity. God's love in infinite, and He loves each and every human being who has existed in the whole of human existence. That's… a LOT. A lot of people. A lot of love. And something led me to thinking about how we are made in God's image. Everything that God is is reflected in us- including that love. That infinite love. I thought a lot about the different kinds of love as well, and how infinite other kinds of love are. After all, if a person has multiple children, or multiple siblings, or multiple family members, are they not able to love multiple people? Does loving multiple family members diminish or dwindle that familial love because it's so split? That's not how I see it- or how most people see it, I think. Like God loves multiple humans, like a person loves multiple family members… Can one not love multiple people romantically? Why is romantic love seemingly limited to just one person? Why is romantic love so different, so finite, when other love isn't?
I did a lot of praying about all of these thoughts that spun around in my head too. I prayed again for guidance from God, for Him to impart His wisdom to me, and His will. And eventually, I came to be at peace with my ability to love multiple people while still loving my God and taking Jesus as my savior.
So…. tl;dr, I prayed a lot. I prayed for YEARS. And I trusted in the feelings of peace that my prayer eventually brought me to, and I trusted that that was God's answer to my prayers. I also relied a good deal on a community of people who accepted me for who I was and what I believed, a queer community. I also searched out a queer Christian community for guidance, looking online especially, but also… haha, I check out the churchs that come to Pride every year, because it's always a wonderful feeling to see other Christians who are supportive of queer people!
This has been a bit long, but I hope it helps in some way. I absolutely understad where you're coming from, and what you're struggling with right now. I best thing I can recommend is to reach out to God for guidance, and to seek out support where you can. I hope you're able to find peace and acceptance for yourself, and I hope you have a blessed day.

4, 18, 26, 31 and 43!
4. A character you rarely talk about?
Hmmm.. I guess it would have to be some of my more brand new ocs (aka ones that aren’t even developed enough to have a tag on here yet!). A lot the ocs I had on my previous oc aesthetic blog are either in oc purgatory or in the process of getting revamped entirely. Some are so new that i have yet to draw them, much less talk about them. But for now, I’ll focus on one who I haven’t drawn yet from VITW verse: Adira, a butch dandelion rogue who has a love-hate/lovers AND enemies relationship with the strawberry monster huntress, St. Wickam.
Adira was disgraced knight who now wanders the wilderness as a thief and mercenary. She often finds herself crossing paths with the high-strung strawberry and she’s made it her personal mission to play with her and to steal her heart (literally or metaphorically? Whatever happens first). Wickam was initially charmed by her but she soon realized that Adira stole her money and they’ve been getting into homoerotic fights about it (and many other instances of them messing with each other) ever since. Their relationship is.. complicated. And neither are ready to admit to themselves or each other that they have romantic feelings for each other. And that’s all I have for now. 🫡
18. Any OC crackships?
Two words: Archdemon Polycule… Or more accurately, separate polycules that have overlap with some members but not all of them are involved with each other. Here’s a visual aid I drew for this weird ass poly ship:
Tumblr media
All Roads Lead to Asmodeus. Would this polycule be an absolute disaster of a relationship? Yes. Do I think it would actually work out? No, I doubt it would last for very long, especially when infernal politics come into the mix… Not to mention that they tend to bicker with each other a lot. Would it at least be entertaining to watch this particular polycule crash and burn? Yes. This will never happen in canon but it would be funny if it did.
26. Have you ever had to change your OC’s design or something else about them against your will?
Not exactly? The only thing that kinda made me change things about my ocs against my Will was probably the existence of H*zbin H*tel/H*lluva B*ss. For a while, I stepped away from my Hell/Heaven story partly because of its popularity/fandom and me wanting to distance myself from it, which included my own story about Hell. I would elaborate further, but there’s a time and place for being a hater and it isn’t here lol. The other, more major reason was that I had a crisis of faith in my artistic and writing ability was also having at the same time I was vocally beefing with these series on tumblr.
31. Pick one OC of yours and explain what their tumblr blog would be like (what they reblog, layout, anything really)
I can think of a few ocs who would actually have a tumblr blog.. I think the most interesting of which would be Archdemon Belphegor’s tumblr blog(s). I’d imagine she’d have several blogs: her main (memes, occasionally posts about her inventive work, plushies, science posts), a blog dedicated to programming and maybe game dev, an aesthetic blog based on 90s computers and video games, and a separate NSFW blog not connected to her main. I’d imagine she’d take the time to make her own custom layout and across the board, they’d all have old computer desktop/old video game vibes. She posts pretty frequently and she sometimes slacks off on her work to check her socials, including tumblr.
43. Do you have any certain type when you create your OCs? Do you tend to favour some certain traits or looks? It’s time to confess
Oh definitely. For one, I typically give my ocs curly/wavy hair, usually dark hair (brown or black). I rarely give them blonde or ginger hair. And even my ocs who have gray hair now were brunettes in their youth. I tend to give my ocs non-straight hair because I find drawing hair with a lot of volume/defined shapes to be more fun than just straight hair.
Aside from that, I tend to make my ocs fat, mostly because I’m fat myself! And a vast majority of my ocs end up with long lashes since I tend to just. Give them obvious lashes, regardless of gender. What can I say? Lashes look great.

How I made my First Pair of Fursuit Paws!
Good afternoon friends! I just finished making my first ever pair of fursuit paws for Anthrocon 2022, and I’d like to share step-by-step how I made them.
Before we get into this, I’d like to give credit to MugiwaraCosplay for the template for the paws. You can buy the instructions and template here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/648408440/digital-monster-hand-paw-pattern-for?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=wickerbeast+paws&ref=sr_gallery-1-4&organic_search_click=1 I definitely recommend you check them out!
Ok! Now that that’s out of the way, lets get started!
First up, I begin making my fursuit paws by printing out the paper template pieces and labeling them for convenience. I then use these templates to cut out both the fur, claws, and inner lining.
 As a note for what materials I used, the paws consisted of vinyl fabric for the claws, faux shag fur, spandex for the lining, and bias tape.
Tumblr media
Now, I cut these materials out in my dorm room during my time at college, but I didn’t realize I would have little to no time to actually make them. So, jumping a couple of months later during the summer, I finally got to work on them.
The first thing I did was take the fur and sew the sides up using my sewing machine. The fur was a bit of a nuisance as it got a little caught in the machine, but I managed it! You may also notice the black T on the left side, this is so that I know where to place the thumb claw once that step would arrive.
Tumblr media
Once this was done, I got to work on sewing the claws with the sewing machine. This was the most repetitive and somewhat frustrating step when making the paws. They consist of three pieces each for four fingers in total, so that’s 24 pieces I had to sew together!
Tumblr media
After this, I worked on the inner lining. The lining is there so that when wearing the paws they’re a lot more soft and comfortable; not brushing up against the rough insides of the faux fur. The spandex curled up a lot around the edges, but pinning them into place with plastic clips help tremendously!
Tumblr media
Now onto the slightly scary part: Sewing the claws onto the fur. I pinned all of the claws into place and attached them to the fur.
Tumblr media
This is what they looked like when sewn on! Note that the other side is not attached to the claws, this will be the next step.
Tumblr media
Pinning the claws again into place, I pushed them into the opening that has yet to be sealed up.
Tumblr media
I connected the claws to both sides of the fur and sewed the claws together, this helped closed up any holes in between them and on the sides.
This took quite some time with some trial and error. I would flip the fingers inside out only to notice a prominent hole that I missed. On top of this, the thumb on the left hand was positioned incorrectly and I had to take it off and redo it all over again. It was kinda headache inducing.
Tumblr media
While I don’t have a picture for this step, what I did next was flip the paw inside out! I carefully pushed the claws through the bottom hole and popped them out. If you’re wondering why I didn’t include the lining, it’s because it would’ve taken a lot of time and stress to add that, as I would have to hand sew it to the inside and the sizing of the lining was off. It would’ve pushed me back A LOT so I decided to skip the step. 
Once I flipped the paws inside out I stuffed them with poly-fil and began to shave down the palms, giving the fur a good brushing. I then took the black bias tape, clipped them to the bottom of the paws, and hand sewed them. For the final step, I gave the paws a good spritzing of cherry cheesecake fursuit spray by Contact Caffeine and brushed them out again. The paws were finally completed!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
These are the final products! I really enjoy how they came out and for my first time they don’t look half bad!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
That’s it for my big sewing project post. I’ll be wearing these bad boys at Anthrocon and I just can’t wait! See you there! ✨
If there are any questions about what materials I used, how long it took, or anything else, lmk and I’ll gladly answer them! ❤

Some thoughts on the Family Tree Saga (I adore these):
To Celine, Joey and Gigi's Parent 1: What. The. Fuck./lh (Seriously, what was the inspo to make these three half siblings?/genq)
I wonder how Nova feels about their older sibling. Did they ever ask Nuru and Sarabi?
Uhh what happened to Tila's family tree? Where are her grandparents? Ancles?
Holy shit Noa are you okay????/lh
Hmm... if Miles has baby sister Billie, would he want to go to a college/uni in Vinyl City?
I like the idea that Maize (Ham's aunt) goes by Corn or Cereal in day to day life (That is why Ham calls herself Ham, food connections)
Have a feeling that that tree is Satoru's "official" family tree, bc I imagine the AMAB folk of blues family having non official concubines to have more children (so Satoru may have a bunch of half siblings or relatives who are not included in this tree)
Not to be nitpicky but I think the comics say that Shoko's powers are rare, and (I think) only Shoko can perform healing on other people as of now (Though I do like that its parents kept on trying for girls until they had a healer that can heal others too, only for that one to go rogue)
-Celin/Joey/Gigi: It's either a poly relationship with their mom being the center, or a singular parent was just a whore/jiggalo lol
The inspo actually comes from my own family. My nana had 4 kids, only 2 are full siblings, then my mom had 3 kids and only me and my brother are full siblings. That's probably the main reason I love the relationship of half siblings so much lol
-Nova: He most likely knows by now. Honestly he probably knew as a kid because his parents spoiled him rotten because they were just so happy to still have a child.
-Tila: Okay, my bad, I forgot about the grandparents in Tila's family tree lol. But both her parents were only kids, so no auncles. Grandparents aren't really in the picture so that's the main reason I forgot them (might change her tree honestly. I kinda blanked out when making hers tbh).
-Noa: No. No he's not. He got an extreme version of parentification and that was the major driving force for him to join Ex-Jay as a way to gain any sort of freedom (though his upbringing did kinda make him the mom friend of the group)
-Miles: Possibly not, but I think by the time he gets to college his sister will be about 3 years old (maybe 2) if he doesn't take a break from school to do so. I think at that point he'd be a bit more okay leaving to be with Gwen at school since Billie could go to daycare and stuff at that point (he'd be hesitant to, but his mom would want him to get the best education and music/art degree he can if that is truly what he wants to do with his life)
-Ham: Hey you saw my food joke/pun thing! Benny is also one! (Eggs Benny is another way to say Eggs Benedict lol). Love the idea that they will tell Maize to stop being corny or for Ham to stop hamming it up, just food puns like that as a cute close family!
-Satoru: Oh yeah, I can see that. Though if I thought of that I would have made it look like they had concubines/side pieces because I didn't even think of what an "official" family tree would look like. Like an official one from Neon J or Tatiana would probably look different from what I gave as the REAL one, but we can totally have this version of Satoru's as the "official" one the fam shows off.
-Shoko: See, I didn't know that! That is good information to know. But that also goes into the idea of "rare" as in the world, or "rare" as in anyone? Because in the world, possibly ONLY Shoko's family has that specific kind of healing power, which means it is still a rare power. But if you mean rare as in for anyone to have, then most likely Shoko is the only (or one of the only) people with that specific healing power (while other users are not related to it at all).
So personally I like the idea of a family power (similar to Eve and Pav), but we can always have it so that Shoko's family can only heal plant elementals or something like that. Perhaps only people connected by blood (so only family members) and Shoko is the only one to be able to heal outside of the family.
Definitely want to keep the idea that afab people in this family have more power than amab people, because I just like that idea for this family for some reason. Whatever the reasoning is (whether it's powers or something else), I think I'm keeping the family tree as is.
OH! Maybe it's like a power that skips generations! Shoko's parents knew their kids were most likely supposed to have this amazing and absolutely OP healing power. But each new kid just failed to produce it (even though they were girls which this power is more likely to show up in) so they kept trying (making SURE they were giving birth to a girl) until they got Shoko (and then, like you said, it defected from the family and "ruined" everything)
I actually like that version quite a bit! Gives a reason as to why the Auncle with no kid and no marriage was disowned since they weren't "participating" in keeping that generations healer alive.
